What is the probability of getting an even sum when two dice are thrown?

The probability of getting an even sum when two dice are thrown is 1/2 or 50%.

When two dice are thrown, there are 36 equally likely outcomes. Of these outcomes, 18 result in an even sum (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12), while the other 18 result in an odd sum (3, 5, 7, 9, 11). Therefore, the probability of getting an even sum when two dice are thrown is 18 out of 36, which simplifies to 1/2 or 50%.

When two dice are thrown, each die has 6 faces, resulting in a total of 36 possible outcomes. Among these outcomes, 18 combinations yield an even sum, while the remaining 18 combinations result in an odd sum.
